"Really good course. Our teacher, Nara gave a great tour of the market with lots of useful information and the food we cooked was tailored to what we wanted. The pork stuffed with coconut was a particular favourite. This isn't the first cooking course I have done in Phnom Penh but it has been the best."
Cathal Mahon
"Simply amazing. Had this as a birthday present as a catering teacher back in the UK, and I have requested one for every year from now on. We walked the markets trying the foods and purchasing ingredients for the day and then spent the rest of the day making a three course meal. The food was exquisite. Thank you for such a great day. Very good English speaking teacher."
Claire Gover
"Wow! What a class - I totally recommend this for anybody who wants to really get a feel for Cambodia and cooking.
We did the market tour in the morning (a must see for anyone) followed by the cooking class. Nara was incredibly knowledgeable about the food, patient and was a great teacher. The food we made was scrumptious and there was plenty of it - you won't go hungry.
This has honestly been the highlight of our 5 month travels. Fun, interesting and delicious."
